Abstract

This  paper  examines  the  challenges  and  renewal  of  Finnish  education  in  the context  of  competence  learning  in  the  21st  century.  Challenges  of  Finnish education in the classroom, school, municipality and national level are discussed,
as  well  as  challenges  in teacher  training.  The  new  Finnish  national  curriculum and how it guides students in learning the skills of the 21st century is presented as  a  solution  to  meet  the  challenges  presented.  In  addition,  it  presents  the
recommendations of the Finnish Teacher Training Forum, which it also supports to  meet  the  challenges.  For  example,  the  creation  of  teacher  collaboration networks  is  suggested  as  a  way  to  support  the  continuing  professional development  of  teachers,  particularly  with  regard  to  their  teaching  of  21st century competencies and the use of digital tools as part of these competencies. These  networks  could  facilitate  the  creation  and  exchange  of  educational innovations  related  to  teaching  and  learning  through  teacher  collaboration, research  and  problem-solving  activities,  as  well  as  close  links  with  classroom practice.


Keywords: Collaborative educational networks, 21st century competencies.
